Pics Aplenty: Cadillac Provoq Live Reveal
Click image for a hi-res gallery of the Cadillac Provoq at CES
Fresh from the floor of the Sands, where GM supreme leader Rick Wagoner delivered the CES keynote, we have photos of the Cadillac Provoq fuel cell concept, courtesy of our own Sam Abuelsamid. The Provoq, as you likely know by know, makes use of the E-Flex architecture that also underpinned last year's Chevy Volt and Opel Flextreme concepts. If you like what you see, plan on seeing more of it in the not-too-distant future. The styling of the Provoq is likely very close to what we'll see when Cadillac eventually pulls the wraps off its upcoming BRX crossover. That's down the line, however. In the meantime, check out the gallery below for our first look at the Provoq in the metal.

Looking forward to seeing this in Detroit for a genuine live impression of my own.

Oh it's so...angular! Makes me feel like chasing all those amublances was worth it.

That fender vent looks so focused.

I'm quite fond of where Cadillac's been going with their styling lately, but this looks like a Chrysler Sebring that swallowed a Ford Focus.

The designers better of been cursing at the Focus reveal. Sadly, it doesn't seem to work any better on a Cadillac. Hopefully either the side vents look better in person or the design isn't set in stone because its otherwise a stunning vehicle outside and under the hood.
Does this mean the 9-4x also gets E-Flex?

I'm surprised nobody's commented on the apparent size and proportional similarity to the Saturn Vue.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw it! It really does look like a VUE, with that line sweeping up the sides. And those fender vents are very Focus-y, too...

Yes, why not call it the überVue

Focus from the side, Sentra from the front. Dud. It'll sell like hell.

So fender vents and chrome are US automaker design staples now?

Looks like Cadillac is positioning this to take on the new BMW X6 and the Lexus RX.

I think it looks great! The only element I would change is the fender vent. I agree that it is too similar to the vents on the Vue and Focus. If the designers are convinced that this vehicle needs a vent (I personally think this design cue is unnecessary and rapidly becoming cliche'), why not install one that is similar to the vent on the CTS? This would tie the BRX in closer with the CTS (which is definitely not a bad thing). Other than the vent blunder, I think the overall design is attractive, upscale, and brand appropriate (a good example of platform sharing done right).

The vent is where you plug it in (I'm at the show and saw the reveal).

I hope it keeps the thermostatically controlled grille slats.
